Hi Jack Black, thanx for this tip! For me it works like a charm using the Custom CSS section of Classic Theme Restorer ..

So, a little question: would you know how to do the same with the toolbar button provided by S4E? Because I use FF55 and S4E 2017.08.20.15 and the download arrow stays invisible into the button, only the overlay download bar is visible when any download is active ...

If you also like to see the labels of the button during downloads (S4E Prefs > Download > "Show button text in icons-only mode" checkbox), but you don't like to see always the "No Downloads" label when there are no such activity, you can use the following code:

This is broken in Nightly 58.0a1 build 20170929220356 with Status-4-Evar 2017.08.20.15. With bug 1324688 wontfixed, is this gone forever? I've been using this Firefox 4 feature that Mozilla foolishly discarded for about 7 years now, so I'm more than a little miffed. What am I supposed to do? S4E's status bar still works, but I hate it just as I hate the status pop-up, so that doesn't help me much. Another possibility would be an add-on that displays the link target in a tooltip next to the cursor, legacy Opera style. But that was also obnoxious and I couldn't find such an add-on anyway. I'm sorely tempted to downgrade to ESR, but that would only delay the inevitable.

Thank you very much. Most S4E options are ignored (e.g. all status text will be displayed, regardless of settings), but I've managed to whip up a fair approximation:

Right-click one of the navigation toolbar buttons on the right and choose Customize.

Drag the "Status text" widget, normally on S4E's Status Bar at the bottom of the window, to the right of the location bar.

Right-click one of the navigation toolbar buttons on the right and uncheck "Status bar".

Place the mouse cursor between the location bar and the Status Text widget, until it changes into a horizontal double-headed arrow. Click and drag to the right, increasing the size of the location bar until the Status Text widget is no longer visible.

Place the following at the bottom of the userChrome.css file. Save and close the file, then exit and restart Firefox.

I've only now found out enabling legacy add-ons will be impossible in Release and Beta. I resorted to moving the status pop-up over the location bar with userChrome.css. It's a little rough for now, but this is what I have so far. The numbers have to be tweaked, since they only fit my exact Firefox appearance.

Found what adds the "JSD ON"/"JSD OFF" text, it is Javascript Deminifier add-on, it is added to the legacy bar of Status-4-Evar.Too bad it can't be removed from there.Also, I have an issue with the download popup from Firefox, now it appears to the bottom, as a balloon form Status-4-Evar. Could it be let in its original (Firefox) place?When download button is pressed on the upper place in the Firefox toolbars, I have to go down to the balloon from the status bar, this is highly uncomfortable.

In Windows XP or Windows 7 with Aero turned off, the Progress meter has a classic 3D "inset" appearance, like this:

In Windows 10, it has a "flat" appearance, like this:

I am able to override the color Win10 gives the Progress meter using Status-4-Evar's Simple Editor, but I was hoping I could use the Advanced Editor to also override the appearance Win10 is giving, so I can get it to have the classic inset 3D appearance:

(I screen capp'd that on the Win7 computer, so the progress meter here already has the 3D inset appearance.)

Does anyone know if this is possible, and what I would need to add to the advanced editor to get the classic 3D inset appearance?

It's not possible to make a version that will work in Firefox 57. There's no "make an update" this time around. Mozilla has crippled the customizability of the browser in an attempt to make it "faster, like Chrome." This has had the opposite of the intended effect... driving existing Firefox users to Chrome instead of making them happier with Firefox updates.

If you want to stick with Mozilla and use add-ons like Status-4-Evar, use Firefox 52 ESR, Firefox 54, or Waterfox. (Firefox 55 and 56 do have legacy plugin support but these versions do cripple some legacy add-ons, so it's not recommended to use these versions if complete legacy add-on support is important to you.)
